Re: Statute Of Limitation
There is no fixed limit on how long a plaintiff has to serve. However, a summons is good only for 60 days and has to be renewed after that to be served. If there are no docket entries for a year, the case is subject to dismissal, but renewal of the summons is enough to avoid that.
